GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Porter Maberry, a former basketball player at Ottawa Hills High School, has jumped to a new level of acclaim even though he’s just 5-foot-5.

Maberry, who can dunk with ease despite his diminutive height, had his skills featured in a YouTube video that has more than 1.6 million views since it was uploaded on Sept. 26. But that was just the beginning for the 22-year-old, who played point guard and was an all-conference pick at Ottawa Hills in 2007-08.

On the opening night of the NBA season on Oct. 30, Samsung debuted a commercial for its Samsung Galaxy Note II that stars LeBron James. At one point in the commercial, James, sitting in a barber’s chair, looks at the phone and sees the video of Maberry dunking.
